Al-Lu'lu Wal-MarjanHadith Number 214
حديث أَنَسٍ، قَالَ: ذَكَرُوا النَّارَ وَالنَّاقُوسَ، فَذَكَرُوا الْيَهُودَ وَالنَّصَارَى، فَأُمِرَ بِلَالٌ أَنْ يَشْفَعَ الأَذَانَ وَأَنْ يُوتِرَ الإِقَامَةَ.
Anas Narrated from:
The people mentioned the fire and the bell [they suggested those as signals to indicate the starting of Salât (prayer)], and by that they mentioned the Jews and the Christians. Then Bilal was ordered to pronounce Adhân for the Salât by saying its wordings twice (in doubles) and for the Iqâma (the call for the actual standing for the Salât in rows) by saying its wordings once (in singles). ( Iqâma is pronounced when the people are ready for Salât). ( Sahîh Al-Bukhârî, Hadîth No. 577, Vol. 1)
